Simplify deployment and management of enterprise cloud applications and support faster DevOps practices with this consolidated management platform.

Enterprises are adopting cloud-based infrastructure to gain business agility and reduce costs at a rapid rate. With a growing number of business units already consuming public cloud services directly, IT organizations are adopting hybrid cloud-based operating models but still failing to meet business expectations for speed to market and technology innovation.

To meet these demands, IT organizations must serve as cloud services brokers, centrally managing a marketplace of cloud resources and apps.
